Ku Ban Ya Kha (กู่บ้านหญ้าคา - Pronounced: Koo Baan Yar Kaa)

This small square mound, listed by the Thai Fine Arts Department and pinned by Google, represents the likely site of a former ancient sanctuary. The feature appears to be surrounded by faint traces of a moat with an eastern entrance causeway and sits on the western side of what is today a still water-filled, but irregular-shaped reservoir Baray Ku Ban Ya Kha. The original, rectangular baray, aligned to approximately 80 degrees and measuring some 100m x 175m, is, however, still discernable.

A collection of rectangular blocks, as well as a laterite linga pedestal and an unidentifiable, carved sandstone block, have been gathered under a roofed shrine that now sits atop the mound.
